This time Kris Gunnars of Authority Nutrition answers the question of whether or not Hydroxycut actually works for weight loss. I've tried similar products and I've worked for GNC and I've determined that short of basically taking speed or cocaine these legal garden variety stimulant type products do very little for those who actually need them. Further more many of the people who need them are so desperate for a solution (especially a quick and easy solution) that you can actually tell them right in the store that the overpriced product does not work and many people will still buy it!

I have been getting some numbness and tingling in my extremities that my doctor's are at a loss to explain so I finally purchased that glucose meter I have been wanting. I chose the Precision Xtra over the Nova Max (the two capable of doing ketones) on the advice posted by Jimmy Moore. Apparently the Nova Max is more finicky, less reliable and a little cheaper.

So far it seems like a great little meter. My blood sugar levels have been fine and I have not gotten around to trying the ketone strips yet. The ketone strips are about $5 a piece though so one can't waste too many of those!

Something really cool. When you signup for AmazonSmile Amazon donates half a percent to the charity you pick. One of the charities you can choose (if you search for it) is the Nutritional Science Initiative. They are out to help banish such bad mythology as "a calorie-is-a-calorie" thanks to Gary Taubes and Peter Attia.

It's kind of funny. I see all the media hype and other diets that come and go. News articles and the best and the worst of the year BS. It's like the world just likes to hear itself talk because no matter what kind of crap they print the movement grows and people figure out where the real info is and just join in and tune out the hum of all the idiots and the sound bites. Those who don't just pick up another tabloid and keep on going with their meaningless lives as they are want to do anyway.
